EFFICIENCY OF MODIFIED GENETIC ALGORITHMS ON TWO-DIMENSIONAL SYSTEM
Lewen Fan, Haiping Fang, Zhifang Lin · International Journal of Modern Physics C · 2000
The genetic algorithms (GA) have been successfully applied to optimization problems in a variety of areas. In this paper, some modifications to GA are designed to study their performance and efficiency on a typical 2D system, 2D Ising spin glass. In particular, two kinds of modified GAs are compared for their searching ability (performance) and efficiency (convergence), by presenting a direct and visual criterion. Finally, some constructive comments and prospects on GA are presented.
